They buy flights, rearrange their schedules and book hotels to stand next to you on your big day. They clink glasses with you on the morning you say, “I do” and make sure your breakfast is perfectly over easy.
They hold your gown up in the toilette so you can take a pee and they straighten it back down right before you walk down the aisle.
They’re your best friends, your girls for life and your family. They’re your bridesmaids.
After they’ve planned your shower and pre-wedding dinner parties, paid for an outfit they’ll most likely never wear again and agreed to get their hair done in a style that’s less than flattering, the least you can do is show some gratitude with a chic thank you gift. To thank them for all they do is an absolute must!
For all their support during your journey to wedded bliss, on your big day, don’t neglect to gift your ladies a token of appreciation. Check out these ideas for bridesmaids gifts.
1. Robe. For the thoughtful bride-to-be looking for amazing bridesmaid gifts, robes are a must. I love this silky soft kimono style robe from The Knot Shop.

3. Jewelry Box. A beautiful jewelry box will add charm to dressers, shelves and vanities. This gold rim personalized jewelry box will make a wonderful gift for the ladies in your wedding.
4. Satin PJ’s. A pair of lightweight, ultra-luxe pajamas makes the perfect bridesmaid gift. I’m loving this Afterhours satin pajama set from Victoria’s Secret.
5. Travel Toiletry Bag. With this pink elephant cosmetics bag from Stella & Dot, your ladies can organize their cosmetics including those long makeup brushes!
6. Compact Mirror Case. For a trendy item your bridesmaids will take with them wherever they go, gift them a fashionable compact mirror case. The faux leather compact mirrors from The Knot Shop are available in gold, silver, rose gold and are sure to come in handy.

7. Shadow Box Photo Frame. Help your girls create their own memories with an elegant shadow box photo frame. They can insert their own special photograph to create a one-of-a-kind that they’ll enjoy forever.
8. Water Bottle. Your girls should always be hydrating! These water bottles from S’well are sleek, chic and portable hydration vessels. This makes it a perfect idea for a bridesmaid gift!
9. Books. Books are tried and true gifts for busy, career-minded women just like the ones in your bridal party. How about gifting them a sure to be must-read like Michelle Obama’s upcoming memoir, “Becoming”.
10. Scented Candle. After a busy wedding weekend, encourage your bridal entourage to relax by indulging in a fresh fragrance experience with a luxe candle. Indigo Chapters has a great selection of gently scented soy wax candles. Once the candle is done, it leaves behind a gorgeous glass vessel that your girls can use as a lovely décor accent at home or at the office.

Your bridal party is an important part of your wedding day. Even though your girls are thrilled to stand next to you and ensure your days goes smoothly, take it from me, being a good bridesmaid is not always easy and can be an expensive commitment.
Yes—your wedding day is a special day for you and your love to enjoy and remember forever. But you wouldn’t be able to celebrate this wonderful occasion without the support and care of your loved ones.
For the bride, that especially means the ladies standing next to you who always have your back.
